Contact your host about the sendmail. I don't think there's very much we can do about it.

If you're host blocked the mailfunctionality I think it is time to have a look for another host :s

I just went to other SMF forum and i checked the forgot password function.
i got email from : [email protected]

I need setup a email with noreply or what?

[xenovanis]

No, but the webmasters email in Admin -> Configuration -> Server Settings should be a valid one. Can you check that?

[Joazo]

it's a vaild one.

That's how i configured my Mail Settings:
Enable Mail Queue - enabled
Maximum emails to send per minute - 0
Maximum amount of emails to send per page load - 0
Mail Type - SMTP
SMTP Server - smtp.live.com
SMTP Port - 25
SMTP Username - my hotmail username
SMTP Password -  my hotmail password

Is it right?
Anyway it doesn't work still. I don't have an idea what to do

[xenovanis]

I'm not sure. You might want to try port 587 then. You don't have another emailaccount to try?

[Joazo]

Port 587 doesn't work as well.

I will try other accounts and update here

[Joazo]

Other accounts dont work too. I tested many options and nothing seems to work. what to do?

also can some1 with SMF forum show me his mail settings?

[Joazo]

Anyone?

Your ISP(internet service provider) is blocking the ports, or your webhost is? If your webhost is, have you tried asking them to unblock them? If so and they refuse to unblock them, then I would suggest switching webhosts.

You can find webhost reviews here:

I have talked with the webhost and they told us that SMTP won't work but PHP will work.
We setted the mail settings under PHP Default.
The change now is we don't see errors about mail sending in the error log, But still the mail aren't sending.
The wierd thing is: when we configure the password in the mail settings, it doesn't save it. Maybe it's a bug of SMF 2.0 RC3.
So maybe because of this bug the mail sending doesn't work.

What kind of email are you using with the PHP? Your @hotmail.com won't work, it has to be at yourdomain.com to work.

[Joazo]

I tried hotmail.com and live.com.
We don't have domain mail yet

[xenovanis]

Can't you use the mailaddress provided by your isp?

[oOo--STAR--oOo]

Do you not have webmail with your host??
This is the email address you should be using
EG [email protected]

[Joazo]

We used till now only hotmail.com and live.com and both of them dont work.
Our webhost didn't provide us a mail.
That is the reason why the mail system didn't work?

Yep, with those type, you have to use SMTP settings. If your host provides you one, then you should be able to just use PHP.
